Welcome all! It has been a very unfrugal day here in the country! OUCH! I woke up to a horrible screeching sound in the middle of the night. It was my kitchen nemesis, the REFRIGERATOR! This side by side beast has been a thorn in my side since I bought it almost nine years ago!

It has made noise and broke down on a nonstop basis. I have had it repaired 4 times under warranty, 2 times under the extended warranty(one rare time it ended up being worth it to purchase a extended warranty!) and 3 times out of our pocket, all small things of course.
But today was different. The compressor locked up and a horrible smell filled the kitchen. I am glad its dead, really I am. I just wish it didn't take our emergency fund with it. I just had it built back up from the September dryer fiasco. Will we ever surpass the initial $1000? Feeling defeated toady but maybe tomorrow I can be thankful we could replace it. Sigh!!!
Ever wonder why Murphy loves to visit in January? He needs to lose my address. Dave said he will try to move in. Have you had a visit from Murphy lately? So much for a spend free day!
Well, I am off to wait for the delivery men. Have a great, calamity free day!
Hugs, Deb

OH, no!!! That's awful!!! I am so sorry!!! I hope some good comes of it. When people say things to me like, "Everything happens for a reason," I think, "Yeah! The reason was apparently to tick me off and put me in a mood for the rest of the week!!!" Here's hoping the reason is different for you!
Ugh!! We've had to use our EF for a fridge before too... so I feel your pain! Hope you're able to build it back up again!
